how many others do you have/what/where are they?
― vienn?tta (Stevie D(eux)), Monday, 24 January 2011 15:53 (thirteen years ago) link
wait you have ten, nvm
I really want to get this drawing that Abbott just did for me done but I can't figure out where. It wouldn't go with the ones on my back and that's kind of crowded anyway. Arm is the obvious answer but I'm not sure.

yeah 10, lets see...i've got a pin-up of my wife on my leg, swallows on my chest, my sons footprint and nautical stars on my forearm, another pin up on my arm and a whole bunch of craptacular tribals on arms/back that i did when i was young and picked flash off a wall.

I hate the things, they're disgusting. Why do that to yourself? Imagine what you'll look like when you're old and wrinkl

when i was getting this done a couple came in to have my dude check to see if he could fix the tattoos they just had done two days prior. AT A FUCKING TATTOO PARTY. They were horrendous, completely messed up.

I know in some people's eyes this is like saying "I wish I could be a line cook" or "I wish I could GRAFFITI THE TEMPLE" (to use the example from my childhood) but I think I could be a good tattoo artist. I am just too risk-averse to do it as a first career. Maybe I will do it when I retire.

Also idk a big fear is sometimes guys are creepers! No offense, guys. But I don't think you can say "here is my tattoo parlor radical lesbians only plz."

thoughts on tattoos seen thru chest hair?
if you get a chest piece but chest hair grows over some of it, is this:
a) maybe a lil awkward looking but no big deal either wayb) VERY ugly, DO NOT WANTc) sorta masculine and, er, "classic"d) hawt
I've seen this work really well with certain kind of sailor-ish/USMC-ish designs, and I've seen it look really awful too. What say ye? I'm neither pro nor con about tattoos- I have six of them myself and like them when they're well done, but lots of the tattoos that I see out in the world are really tacky and awful. But I can't make up my mind about this tattoo + body hair issue.

C, usually, depending on amount of hair. If it's a rug, then maybe a.

like this dude's combo of chest hair and tattoo works for me:

(but that has more to do with him and the angle and lighting of the photo, than the chest hair/tatt combo itself)
but I've also seen "hairy tattoos" look really horrible, like what-were-you-thinking bad
― the tune is space, Monday, 14 March 2011 15:43 (thirteen years ago) link
I think it looks good b/c of the light density of the hair over the tattoo.
― Jesse, Monday, 14 March 2011 15:56 (thirteen years ago) link
to return to this thread, I took the plunge and got a chest tattoo:

i like that one, dd. i've been thinking about anchors, too, but i also am thinking about other designs. given the fact that this boy i'm seeing is a tattoo artist, think it's going to happen soon.

How much chest hair do you normally have? I'd be interested in seeing a picture of what it looks like grown in. (That sounds a little creepy, so I would like to explain that my question and request are apropos your question about chest hair + tattoos above.)
― a giant and leaky bag of mayhem (Jesse), Friday, 22 April 2011 22:00 (thirteen years ago) link
No, I getcha, and I will try to remember to post a followup- I don't have a lot of chest hair, and what grows is mostly above the area where the tattoo is, so it will only be over the top of the image- hope it doesn't look weird, as I don't want to shave it
oh, and DAMN the sternum is a painful area to get tatted, I have had tatts in other places but whoah, this was kind of excruciating I gotta say
― the tune is space, Friday, 22 April 2011 23:16 (thirteen years ago) link
if you commit a homicide, maybe don't tattoo the entire crime scene on your chest:

When I saw the pic that's what I was going to say; getting your sternum tattooed sucks. I have a chest tattoo that covers most of my left pec, and when he hit the sternum it felt like he was tattooing my throat. Thought I was going to be sick, etc. I guess that puts me in the "I have tattoos but I wouldn't recommend them", at least I'd never recommend anywhere near the sternum.
― CraigG, Saturday, 23 April 2011 13:58 (thirteen years ago) link
Is sternum tattooing more of a dull sort of pain?
I always thought I was tough or other people were whiners b/c I had gotten four tattoos, none of which hurt - I described the feeling as just kind of annoying, like a minor rug burn. Those tattoos are on my shoulder, outer upper arms, and hip. Then I got one on my inner upper arm/armpit and that fucker hurt so bad I almost cried. It was a sharp, searing, stinging pain.

Looks like someone works out . . . er, that is to say, nice tattoo placement!
― Virginia Plain, Saturday, 23 April 2011 16:09 (thirteen years ago) link
thanks! I am hoping that the placement makes me work out more, but my job doesn't give me a lot of time to do that
xpost re pain
I guess everybody's pain scale is different, I have never broken a bone or given birth so i can't compare it with those pain milestones, but I found that the sternum was much more painful than the tattoos I have on my biceps, stomach, ankle, and hips. It wasn't a different *kind* of pain- it was that same sorta cat-scratch-meets-cigarette-burn kind of feeling, but just a much more intense version of it. At times I was just scrunching up my face, not able to breathe, with my mouth wide open and no sound coming out, just kind of looking like a demented Butoh dancer dude or something. You know you're being a total wuss when the tattoo artist keeps saying "you're doing great" in that fake reassurance voice . . .
― the tune is space, Saturday, 23 April 2011 16:48 (thirteen years ago) link
the sternum hurts, yes, but does it hurt as much as the ribcage? my Wojnarowicz tat was excruciating, and it only took like 15 minutes. i was drenched in sweat and nearly hyperventilating by the end of it.

i will say that Jesse has it right re: the armpit area. the one i have right below my clavicle didn't hurt EXCEPT when he was getting close to my pits. then i was like 'holy shit i'm never getting work done there'

You'll look old and wrinkly regardless of whether you have a tattoo!
Old, wrinkly with a bunch of silly tattoos. I don't know, I like'em a lot on young people. But not so much when it's on a 70 year old person. Especially when it's faded. Meh. As I said, I quite like some tattoos. But I hate the small ones, or the ones on legs or like the woman at the clothes' shop today. On her finger. I mean, seriously, wtf is up with those random little ones?
Rimbaud tattoo is AWESOME. I mean, seriously, how much better can you get?
